Milan, Conceiçao in pole position for the bench. Fonseca is also in the running

As reported by Gianluca di Marzio:

At the moment the first name on the Rossoneri club’s list is Conceiçao, but Paulo Fonseca’s candidacy also resists. As for Sergio Conceiçao, contacts with Mendes (his agent) are continuing and new appointments are scheduled in the next few days. However, Paulo Fonseca also remains in the running. On an economic level, we need to understand what the demands of Conceiçao will be, who would be freed from Porto quite easily after the change of president. Fonseca remains an option and is appreciated by the Rossoneri management also because the feedback coming from Lille is very positive.

Pioli: «At the end of the championship I will meet the club»

In conference:

How complicated is it to work with rumors about the future?
«My task shouldn’t be complicated: 4 games to go. It’s true that outside we talk about everything except the matches, but not us. We have a great sense of responsibility. Then the future will be seen at the end of the championship».

Other important clubs appreciate your work…
«You have waited a long time, wait a little longer to talk about the future: the work is not finished. You can write, I can’t control the rumors and I don’t even want to control what you put out there. The real thing is that I have another year of contract with Milan and that I will not talk to any other club as long as I am under contract with Milan».
